Court overturns City Rejection of Low Bidder based on alleged lack of Necessary Experience
Hillside Landscape Constr. Inc. v. City of Lewiston 151 Idaho 749, 264 P.3d 388 (2011)
The City of Lewiston received multiple bids on a public works project. It rejected the low bidder’s offer on the ground that the low bidder lacked sufficient experience for the project. The low bidder brought an action against the City for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and damages. The district court dismissed the complaint, and the low bidder appealed.
